All Tracks - Ria Mae

AfterEllen got the chance recently to speak with the rising star, and we discussed her creative process, what launched her career, and signing a label with Sony Music. And of course, how she earned a spot on our lesbian radar! Do you write your own songs and if so what is your creative process? I am a songwriter first, singer second. My process changes a lot. When I was younger, I used alone time with my guitar to daydream. Somewhere along the way, I started studying songs and their arrangements becoming fascinated with little tricks I could tell people used to make choruses pop or make a bridge work.

I always start with a daydream of a situation and start writing melody before matching words to the melody. Every song has a different starting point for me.

Lately, my laptop has replaced my guitar and my writing is a bit more focused, but a large part is still daydreaming and meditation. I get a little more productive each year, it seems. A bit better with my time.

In terms of specific art influences, I think rap music influenced me to talk about my own life in my songs. I think my love of punk music influences my live show and my short and catchy songs. Throughout your music career, what do you think has made you unique compared to other musical artists?

I think if I really try and go outside myself and look in, I think what has made me stand out as an artist whose voice and story is unique is my gender and my shyness coupled with my accessible pop songs and confidence. What moment happened that really put you on the public radar? Until then, I had no manager or label or anything. I was just making songs in my bedroom and booking acoustic tours around Canada and the northeast US.

That song and my record deal really changed things for me. I loved his work and had total confidence in him, so that made it easy to get on board. When you see me fall off the bed, that is legit me falling off the bed from the weirdness of doing a kissing scene in front of strangers. How has the release of these music videos affected you personally?

Gold was the second big single in Canada, so it sort of set the tone for who I was. Was there a greater message you were trying to spread? I honestly never really think about messages. I try and make content that I wish I had when I was younger.

How much of the scenes are relatable to your own life? The video is very relatable to me. What can we expected from you next? Is there anything else you would like to say to our AfterEllen readers? I would like to say thanks for reading through. See you on instagram!

Ria is currently in the studio writing and recording her follow-up EP scheduled for later this year.
